The Weirdest Thing To Hit The Inbox Today

You figure it out!

By Brad Shoemaker  |  Feb. 12, 2010

NASCAR was a major feature of my upbringing, so I'm having an especially hard time processing this image that just showed up in my email. 


  
Apparently Joey Logano will be driving this car tomorrow in the Drive4COPD 300. Remember when stock cars had Tide, or Lowe's, or, you know, STP on their hoods? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

That looks a bit out of place alright.

Dude, that's wild.
 
Also, NASCAR is for bad people.

Why not?  Gaming is an adult thing to do nowadays.

I want that design in Forza.

That's just horrible.

I don't follow Nascar at all, but haven't they done gaming cars before?

I have a hard time believing the NASCAR crowd overlaps with the Bioshock crowd. Not saying it can't happen, of course. Just saying we maybe, possibly, be misinterpreting the demographic.

It's weird to see games (not to mention game stores) being advertised on stock cars. I suppose it was inevitable, but it's still weird.

Huh? Okay.

I demand a Stone Temple Pilots car.

There's nothing I like better after seeing a stock car race than making moral choices regarding the future safety of mutant pre-pubescent girls in an underwater steampunk dystopia.

I think that the Gamestop car was a Batman:AA car for a bit too. It seems out of place, but this would be like Mass Effect commercials during football games, reaching a broader audience

SHIT YEAH ANOTHER LEFT TURN!!!!
 
I live where NASCAR is a plague upon mankind... the mountains of Western North Carolina.  NASCAR fans are abundant, and generally very stupid.

That's a card?

2K might as well just come up with their own beer if they're going after this demographic. Wait, that's a great idea!

I could see it for Modern Warfare, Gears of War, or Killzone, but not with a game like Bioshock. Not exactly the most broad-reaching title.

I fucking love Joey Logano! I fucking love Bioshock 2! These are things that are AWESOME!

Loagno's Italian? Shit, I didn't know they even let my people into NASCAR races! I missed my chance.

is it sad that i noticed it was a TOYOTA CAMRY before it was a bioshock 2 car?

watching cars go round in circles... nuff said.
